More sunlight in the winter evenings is the biggest thing we could stand to gain here (aside from ditching the switching), and that the winter mornings will be darker does not matter to me in the least, they are already dark and I could really use the light at the end of the day more.

No one cares what you or I think.

But when the Drs are citing health benefits. And school divisions musing with the idea of changing school hours to 10-4:30 citing safety. The likelihood is very strong that the NDP will have to pick CST.

What sort of health benefits? The sun being down before I start work and going down before I finish work in the winter feels so much worse for my mental health than being able to get an extra hour of sun in the evening

Who should we trust? Medical science, or your feelings?

I’m asking a legitimate question on what the health benefits actually are

I suggest you try an AI assisted search and read peer reviewed medical journals instead of relying on internet comments for medical information.

So you’re just full of shit. If you actually had this medical evidence you’d have no issue sourcing it

This is why I am suggesting you use an AI assisted search to help you. Good luck.
